[COMPLETE] A Novel of the Bloody Saints:: Mirrah, a young girl from a broken family, cut out her living heart for the power to protect her people. That sacrifice gave her enormous power over the elements, over the very spirit of her realm. The cost was dear. Now she is bound to the land, and unable to hate, or fear, or love. Every act whittles away the time she has left, so any moment could be her last. She even gave up her name to become THE ICON. It was supposed to be an HONOR. It was supposed to be a BLESSING. But slowly she comes to realize that she has been lied to. There are dark secrets just under the surface of the world, and behind the shield she holds, an old enemy waits to STRIKE. Somehow, this Icon must face the terrible truth of the world she inherited. She must regain what was lost without succumbing to the same fate as every Icon has before her. The darkness rises, and she must face it, or become what her people feared more... THE ICON UNBOUND. Rated Mature-- For Violence. This is a fantasy folks, and there is blood-magic.

"Mooooorrrrrrrreeeeeeee, this book is like air, i need it!" @noromance101 "These chapters are written BEAUTIFULLY! You are, without a doubt, my favorite writer on this site. " @nagykt "Reading this feeds my soul." @Yrthraethra Sixteen-year-old Mirra can see people's memories. She is a Shadow Weaver, one of the outlawed, glitter-eyed race feared in her land and forced into brutal slavery as children. She and her brother Kel have escaped their fate by hiding near the frozen mountains. But when bounty hunters snatch Kel, Mirra injured and unable to track long distances will lose him unless she gives herself up to his captors. As as a Shadow Weaver who's survived childhood and whose golden-flecked irises have faded, concealing her talent, Mirra's own value is priceless on the black-market. Taken to a lawless town in the northern territories, Mirra convinces her captors to sell her to a mysterious young man destined for the same province as the officer who has bought her brother. The young man is the Kingdom's missing Prince, feared dead after his escort was attacked on an expedition. He has been in hiding, waiting for a Shadow Weaver whose skill he can use to discover who ordered his assassination. But before he will risk breaking his father's law and taking Mirra to the royal court, he must test her talent and her ability to hide it. If Mirra fails, her hopes of seeing her brother again will be cut by the noose around her neck.
